Comments              : now that was a tough title, especially
                        because i play tyson now for just three
                        weeks. D1T is _nothing_ compared to D2T,
                        since the biggest badies in D1 are the
                        caco and the baron of hell, which can be
                        both boxed one-on-one with some practice.
                        in fact the baron of hell is the only D1
                        monster that couldn't be chain-sawed,
                        even cacos die without reaction in the
                        waterfall of sharp metal teath, tearing
                        into their soft flesh... got carried away,
                        sorry. :) in D2, you have to provoke in-
                        monster-fights to box or chainsaw certain
                        creatures (e.g. mancubi or arachnotrons).

                        map03: "the gantlet" (lv03-d2t.lmp)
                               more than enough bullets, health and
                               two megaarmours make for a really easy
                               map. just pistol-shoot your way through.
                               time is 12:45 and dance is at the start.

                        map13: "downtown" (lv13-d2t.lmp)
                               now that was more challenging, since
                               i've never seen a tyson recording of
                               this level and didn't know exactly
                               how many bullets are available. so i
                               just run around for some time to let
                               most of the monsters kill themselves.
                               e2m5 was harder, but this also is an
                               "advanced tyson map". time is 33:43
                               min and dance is at the start.

                        map27: "monster condo" (lv27-d2t.lmp)
                               the masterpiece. new in the tyson
                               levelset, never before asigned, never
                               before completed for a DHT exam. first
                               patrick martin did it in 45 min, demon-
                               lord in 25 min and i never, ever thought
                               i would be able to complete it at all.
                               but i worked out a route that puts the
                               dangerous parts in the first few min of
                               the lmp. rini also got 27 asigned, and
                               using roughly my route, he was able to
                               complete it. the same evening, he coached
                               me to success. only thing is, that i
                               would have boxed the painies, but rini
                               said "no, too dangerous". hmpf. bet he
                               only said this because he wanted me to
                               stay over his 44:05 min recording. :)
                               tip: just watch the first 5 mins, 'cause
                               after i start shooting the mancubi, it
                               really get's boring. time is 54:04 min
                               and dance is in front of the big arrow
                               right after the 30 secs secret.

                        free : map01-05, tyson, 100% kills (01-05d2t.lmp)
                               wanted to do the first 5 maps tyson
                               style with 100% kills. i did it, but
                               forgot the stupid dance, so i did it
                               in map06 at the start. than decided
                               to try "the crusher" as far as possible,
                               but since i wasn't prepared, i had no
                               clue about tactics or strategy. in the
                               end i died while trying to persuade the
                               hell-knight to kill some revenants for
                               me. all in all the chainsaw from map01
                               really helped alot. dance is at the
                               start of map06.
